In fact, there is a certain gap in wages between Spain and other EU countries. In general, the wage gap between Northwestern European countries (such as Norway or Germany) and Southern European countries (such as Spain, Greece and Portugal) is very large.
There are many reasons why wages in Spain are lower than in northern Europe:
However, it should also be understood that while
wages in Spain are lower than in northwestern Europe, they are higher than in
southern European countries except Italy. There are many reasons why wages in
Spain are lower than in northern Europe, apart from high unemployment which
makes the labor market less competitive, its cost of living is much lower than
in northern countries, labor costs (eg social security etc.) are very high and
productivity is not that high In addition, Spain has a limited number of large
companies, and there is a large wage gap between company executives and other
employees.
Nowadays, in the face of the high tuition fees and fierce competition for traditional mainstream study abroad purposes, many students and parents have put small-language countries on the agenda of studying abroad, and the benefits of small-language countries are gradually becoming known. Among them, Spain has become the choice of many study abroad families because of its low study abroad expenses and Spanish language as employment blessing. So, what are the advantages of studying in Spain? What else should be paid attention to?
The main advantages of choosing to study in Spain:
Spain currently has 49 public universities and 14 private universities. The main institutions of higher learning are: University of Madrid Compasstown, Autonomous University of Madrid, University of Salamanca, University of Barcelona, etc. The most outstanding professional field in higher education is business, and Spain's three major business schools, IE, ESADE and IESE, are at the top of the world rankings. IE Business School is recognized as the world's leading business school, and has been highly rated in the Financial Times, Business Week and Economist business school rankings, and internationalization is one of its characteristics. IESE Business School is 1% of the world's business schools with the European Quality Development Certification System (EQUIS), the International Association of Business Schools (AACSB) and the British Association of MBAs (AMBA). Opportunities to work in top consulting firms, investment banks, and Fortune 500 companies. IESE Business School has been ranked first in the Financial Times executive education rankings for six consecutive years. In addition, art, tourism and other characteristic disciplines of public universities rank among the top 50 in the world.
It is possible to advance to a master's degree from a special school. The Spanish master's degree adopts an application system. Whether it is an undergraduate or a junior college student, there is no need to take the entrance examination. Chinese high school students are admitted without examination. Since 2008, the Ministry of Education of China and the Spanish Ministry of Education have signed a credit exchange recognition agreement. The Spanish Ministry of Education recognizes the Chinese college entrance examination scores. Entrance exams for Spanish universities and this qualification is limited to students from China and EU member states.
The cost of studying abroad is low. Take a Spanish public university as an example for an undergraduate course, which is free of tuition and enjoys the same treatment as domestic students, and only charges part of the credit registration fee. For a master’s degree, take a public university as an example, the schooling system is 1-2 years, and the tuition fee is 1600-5000 euros. Living expenses, if you cook at home, it is generally 150 euros per month, and a minimum of 10 euros for dining out. Student apartments are 300-500 euros per month, and the cost of renting a house is slightly higher.
In June 2022, according to the Spanish version of the "Europe Times" WeChat official account "Xi Wen", the new draft reform of immigration regulations will allow foreign students to work, and continue to expand the scope of hiring labor from the place of origin of foreign immigrants, making temporary workers. In addition, measures to ease the way for illegal immigrants receiving vocational training to obtain work permits; to promote the entrepreneurship of foreign citizens and other measures. On June 3, the National Statistics Institute (INE) released data on foreigners living in Spain and acquiring nationality in 2021, reaching 144,000, an increase of 14% over 2020 and the highest number since 2016. For international students, allowing work will be a benefit, and legal labor income can subsidize their daily expenses.
Spanish language supports a wide range of employment. The official language of Spain is Spanish. The number of countries with Spanish as an official language ranks second in the world, after English, and it is also one of the six working languages of the United Nations. In the United States, there are many native speakers of Spanish, which are widely used in New York and other states. Spain and China have frequent economic and trade exchanges, and the two countries have a certain demand for international students who are proficient in Spanish culture and professional skills, which also provides a lot of employment opportunities for Chinese students studying in Spain.
The environment is stable and suitable for living. Spain has four distinct seasons throughout the year, is influenced by the Mediterranean climate and has plenty of sunshine. It is one of the most attractive countries in Europe. There are famous tourist destinations such as Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, and Costa del Sol. The headquarters of the World Tourism Organization is located in Madrid. The Spanish folk customs are enthusiastic and unrestrained. The locals are keen to dance flamenco. It is also the hometown of guitar. The modern classical guitar originated and flourished in Spain. Football is very popular among Spaniards. The Spanish Football League is one of the top domestic leagues in Europe, among which Real Madrid and Barcelona are the top teams in the world. Spain is also a gourmet's paradise, and each region has a famous food culture. Sherry wine, paella, and tapa are all unique and representative delicacies.
However, there are some things that students need to pay attention to when studying in Spain. For example, degree selection is very important. Different majors have different specific requirements. Spanish masters are also divided into academic masters and official masters. For Chinese international students, it is best to choose the official master degree as much as possible, because the master degree is not recognized by the domestic Ministry of Education for the time being, and it will be more troublesome to return to China to work,
In addition, when you first arrive in Spain, you need to pay attention to register in time. The first thing you do after arriving in Spain is to go to the school to register. It must be completed as soon as possible to avoid peak periods. In daily study and life, we must pay attention to the usual grades, clarify the composition of the scores of each subject, and complete the usual homework on time, otherwise it will be difficult to pass the exam, If you fail to pass the exam, you can only retake the exam in the second year.
It is best to have a certain foundation in Spanish when studying in a country with a small language such as Spain. The minimum Spanish requirement for Spanish is B2, and you can usually apply for more than 80% of the majors, but it does not mean that you can follow the progress of the class smoothly. Therefore, It is also necessary to improve the ability of Spanish. Due to language limitations, students may be severely affected and their learning will be affected.
